Mediterranean Style Salmon Recipe – Chef Dennis

Salmon has got to be one of the most popular fish to serve for dinner, and my Mediterranean style salmon will certainly be a crowd pleaser! With my easy to make olive tapenade you've got yourself a healthy and delicious restaurant-style dinner.

This is one of my Restaurant Style Dishes that you can make easily in your own home in less time than it takes to pick-up takeout and for a fraction of the cost of eating out……. What could be better?

Everyone has busy lives and eating well has to be one of the most important decisions we need to make. But eating healthy doesn’t mean we need to scrimp on the flavors and my Mediterranean Style Salmon is loaded with flavor.

With a busy lifestyle we need to find healthy flavorful dishes that we can make in a short amount time, and of course, we need them to be cost-effective.

Since my recent find of Northwest Coho Salmon at Costco, good salmon has become affordable and since its IQF frozen, readily available.

You can make the feta-olive tapenade ahead of time to even save yourself, even more, time and do yourself a favor and make a little extra because you’re going to love the flavor of my feta-olive tapenade.

It makes a great bruschetta topping and would be delicious with grilled chicken or any other fish. Serve this dish with your favorite side dish or just a salad and you have a healthy delicious restaurant-style dinner on your table in less than 30 minutes!

I see your response that you do not post calories, but just another comment on that; if recipes are listed under “healthy” it would be helpful to know nutritional information, not just calories. There are many people out here these days with different types of diet restrictions who need to know that information. There are programs like Mastercook that calculate that, and that you could use to find that information. It’s a nuisance to put all of a recipe in, and then discover that it does not fall within restrictions you might have.

I would suggest anyone on that type of diet, use one of those programs for all of their meals before cooking. I’m on a low calorie , GF, Soy Free diet myself and pretty much use common sense. If you’re on a restricted diet having that program to input all your meals is something each individual should do. Most cookbooks and magazine recipes don’t include nutritional information. thanks for your input.

Outstanding recipe! I changed the Salmon a little to bake in foil (olive oil/lemon juice), but made the tapenade exactly. One of the best Samon dishes I’ve tried on my own. High marks from my fiancée. Thanks for this!

I’m very happy to hear that my salmon recipe was a hit at your house! Remember to always add a little water to the pan whenever you oven roast fish, to help it stay moist. Now you have to try my tiramisu recipe and really wow your girlfriend!

I literally started having hunger pangs halfway through the post. It looks amazing and I bet it also tastes delicious too. It is the perfect dish to cook up in this season. I can’t wait to try it . Looking forward to reading more delectable recipes in the upcoming posts.
